If you looking for an after-holiday break from all the high-carbs and overly sweet cookies try my Completely Flourless Chocolate Cookies which are low-carb, gluten-free and, well… completely flourless. Choclatique Unsweetened Cocoa Powder is the perfect replacement for the flour and who can go wrong with that much cocoa?

You will need to use Choclatique Rouge Unsweetened Cocoa Powder for best results. It is a Dutch-processed cocoa powder that reduces some of the natural acids in cocoa. If you are not fearful of chocolate overdose, you can also add some sugar-free chocolate chunks to the cookies—I suggest Choclatique Sweet Deceit Dark Chocolate Pastilles, roughly chopped. A quarter cup is plenty.

Irving Berlin wrote the lyrics and Bing Crosby first made it famous in the movie Holiday Inn. The song was almost cut because the studio thought it was too mushy—but better heads prevailed and thankfully, it didn’t wind up on the cutting room floor. Today, almost every child (and adult) seems to dream of a White Christmas. There is redemption and beauty with a fresh layer of snow that enhances the splendor of the winter season. Its beauty is peaceful as well as a refreshing scene to behold.

This Christmas, whether you live in Albany or Albuquerque, Las Vegas or Lancaster, you can enjoy a Choclatique White Christmas with my White Christmas Chocolate Mousse. This mousse recipe will have all your family and friends singing that very famous song.

I really love this time of year in California where many people go to the beach on Christmas day. Yes, Christmas weather in Los Angeles can be in the 80’s. Eat you heart out Minneapolis!

This is beverage sort of like an eggnog Frappuccino—Eggnogaccino. It is made in a blender with my Basic Eggnog recipe or even with the store-bought stuff you find around the holidays. It can be made with or without alcohol. It’s indulgent, great tasting, quick to make and loaded with chocolate flavor.

Friday after 6 is happy hour time at Choclatique. That’s when our team goes out to celebrate the end of the work week and see how we can make it even better on Monday. Last Friday we decided to stay a little later and get some more things off our do lists.

We had some Choclatique Dark Drinking Chocolate left in the dispenser and a bottle of tequila nearby and decided to see if we could make them work together. We started with the tequila—a good tequila is slightly spicy with vanilla back notes—which goes well with chocolate. All we had left to do was add in the coffee-flavored Kahlua, fresh milk and orange liqueur and blend—this drink is crazy good. It’s a delicious way to finish the week with great co-workers and friends with adult chocolate fun.
